Surf Video: The Day Before Christmas at Baler
While we were slicing ham at home, the Philippine's best surfers Okoy, Jeff and Pete Pete were launching airs and throwing sprays at the bowl at Cemento Reef in Baler.
Damn these Aloha boys are sick. Gotta be at the 6th Aurora Surfing Challenge to catch them all.

kaya ng mga taga baler na talunin ang mga taga siargao at la union!!!, pag sa cobra reef ang championship!!
of course kayang kaya ng baler boys!
Kaya hindi nanalo ang siargao boys kasi may dayaan sa judging! hahaha! ano ba naman na head judge yun!
Especially sa semi-final rounds! Kitang-kita ng mga tao ang mga tricks na ginawa. Hindi na appreciate ng judge? come on! Long ride ang basis! hehe . ok na . nangyari na ang nangyari.
